I compost mine on a cold heap, and the tree had fungus. There are very
few diseases that will transfer through a compost heap, and effectively
none from prunings. Almost the only ones that will are soil-borne ones
with resistant spores, like white rot of alliums - but, with most of
those, you either have them in your soil or you don't, so it doesn't
make any difference whether you put them in the compost!
